 NUT Protest : Wike Warns Against Politicising Insecurity The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has warned against politicising insecurity amid protests by the Nigeria Union of Teachers, FCT wing, over the killing and abduction of school staff and children in Oyo State. Teachers stormed the FCTA Secretariat in Abuja to condemn the killing of Michael Oyedokun and to demand the release of abducted pupils and teachers from Community High School, Ahoro-Esinle in Oriire Local Government Area. The FCT minister addressed the protesters on Tuesday, saying the federal government is on its toes working to secure the rescue of the schoolchildren and their teachers. Wike urged protesters to avoid turning the tragedy into a political issue and to give security efforts time to produce results.

RE: MISLEADING CLAIMS REGARDING THE ARREST OF A TRAFFIC OFFENDER AT ANTHONY INWARD KETU - A CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY


The Lagos State Taskforce wishes to address a misleading narrative circulating on social media through a viral video concerning an unidentified lady who was apprehended for driving on the BRT lane by unknown policemen (not officials of the Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Unit) along Anthony inward Ketu, Lagos.


It is important to clarify that the Lagos State Taskforce had no involvement in the unfortunate extortion of the lady or her mother. Available records show that we currently do not have any offices, garages, or car parks at Ketu, and no team was assigned to man the BRT corridor at the time of the incident. LAMATA-BRT has its own Monitoring and Enforcement Team responsible for overseeing activities on BRT corridors.


Any attempt to link the enforcement, arrest, and subsequent extortion of the lady to Lagos State Environmental Taskforce officials is completely baseless, untrue, and misleading.


The agency enjoins the general public to note that not all policemen wearing tactical jackets on the road are attached to the Lagos State Environmental Taskforce. Our officials are identified by unique identification numbers. However, we encourage anyone with credible complaints against any of our officials to come forward with evidence for proper investigation and identification.


The Lagos State Taskforce enforces the law with professionalism, civility, decorum, and due process, ensuring that all arrests are carried out humanely and that every enforcement by the Agency culminates in court for adjudication.


We urge the public to refrain from spreading falsehoods about the agency and to always obey traffic regulations to prevent avoidable incidents.
